Getting a full-time job seems more and more frequently to involve turning a part-time or contract position into a full-time one. Employers this year have added four times as many part-time jobs as full-time ones, or 93,000 part-time jobs per month compared to only 22,000 full-time ones, according to the U.S. Department of Labor.

How successful people are in converting part-time positions into full-time jobs depends on their skill in navigating the transition. However, be aware that there are often no guarantees and no promises that part-time or contract workers will be hired full-time, even if suitable openings arise.
